Preparation for Cultivation

Growing beetroot sprouting seeds is simple and does not require specialised equipment. The process begins with rinsing the seeds in clean water, then soaking them in lukewarm, boiled water for 8-10 hours. Pre-soaking softens the seed coat, aiding the germination process. After soaking, drain the water and transfer the seeds to a jar, sprouter, or another germination container. If using a jar, cover the opening with gauze secured by a rubber band, and position it at an angle to allow excess water to drain. Seeds can also be grown on gauze, cotton wool, or in special sprouting containers.

Site Conditions

Beetroot sprouts thrive best in a bright location, away from direct sunlight. Direct sun rays can accelerate drying and disrupt their development. The optimal temperature for cultivation is 20-24°C. The sprouting container should be placed in a well-ventilated area to provide fresh air access and prevent mould growth.

Cultivation

The cultivation process of beetroot sprouts takes 6-8 days. During cultivation, it is essential to rinse the seeds 2-3 times daily with clean water. This prevents mould formation and ensures even growth. The sprouts grow quickly, and their development can be observed within 3-5 days. When the sprouts reach a length of 1-2 cm, they are ready for consumption. Before eating, it is advisable to remove any remaining hard seed shells from the sprouts.

Usage

Beetroot sprouts are a true adornment on the plate and a healthy addition to daily meals. Their intensely pink colour and crunchy texture enhance the appearance of any dish. They make an excellent addition to salads, sandwiches, coleslaws, soups, meat and fish dishes. They can be eaten raw, preserving their full nutritional value. Their mildly sweet taste pairs perfectly with cheeses, spreads, pasta, and vegetarian dishes. Beetroot sprouts also serve as an attractive plate decoration, making dishes look aesthetic and appetising.

Nutritional Values and Health Benefits

Beetroot sprouts are a treasure trove of vitamins and minerals. They contain vitamins A, C, and B1, as well as essential trace elements like potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium, copper, and manganese. Uniquely, they contain rare metals such as caesium and rubidium, supporting the body's metabolic processes. The red pigment, betacyanin, acts as an antioxidant, helping to remove free radicals from the body. Regular consumption of beetroot sprouts improves cardiovascular function, aids in combating anaemia, boosts immunity, supports liver regeneration, and strengthens hair and nails. The fibre in sprouts regulates the digestive system, prevents constipation, and aids in detoxifying the body.

Resistance to Diseases

Beetroot sprouts are resistant to diseases, provided they are cultivated under hygienic conditions. The premium seeds available at Garden Seeds Market are carefully selected and quality-checked, minimising the risk of mould and disease development. Key to healthy sprouts is regular rinsing of seeds and ensuring access to fresh air and appropriate humidity.
